Profile:
The "Coroner", a medical doctor like his more famous younger
brother, was an unorthodox batsman and effective lob bowler He
started playing top class cricket under his father's captaincy at
13, and toured Australia with Parr's team in 1863-4. He came to
prominence by scoring 192* and taking all 10 wickets in an
innings for the MCC. Before WG's ascendancy, EM was generally
acknowledged as the finest all round cricketer in England. His
batting was highly entertaining, often using cross batted shots
to straight balls to the frustration of the bowler, and
specialising in the "draw" shot, often played under a cocked left
leg. He was a superb fielder at point (Dave Liverman, 1998).
